Summer Begins

First time in the sand. The "flood buggies" were so bad this day that we didn't stay long at The Palisades.
Don't look, I gonna eat some clovers.

Lately, we've been spending almost everyday at the park. We'll, Maya and her Daddy have, and I'm usually working. She loves to climb on the equipment, spin the spinning things, and go down the slide. She also likes to pick up pine cones, go for walks, and try to eat things that are generally yucky..mmm, wood chips. The result of all this running around and playing is a baby that goes to sleep much earlier and sleeps fairly well. This makes mommy and daddy happy because it means more mommy and daddy time.

Maya is interested in other kids at the playground, but doesn't really interact with them (she likes to watch). Although she does enjoy chasing Max around and laughing when she sees him.

She still loves fruit, won't eat ice cream or cakey. But if you cut up grapes-that's the good stuff.

Man she's a talker now. "Up", "Wylie", "Shoes", "Hot" - these are just a few of the new ones. If we pour coffee, or if you open the stove she says "hot" in this cute whispery way that Max used to do when he was her age. They told us that she would know six words by 15 months. We looked at each other because she already knew six and now it's like ten or twelve.

I don't mean to brag, but she's getting an A- in AP English.

She also loves her new big girl car seat!

Even more of my favorite things




(This is a onesie that my friend Dena made for Maya. It's her "There Will Be Blood" onesie.

"I drink your milkshake" being the best line from the movie. This is her best Daniel Day Lewis face. She just needs a mustache and a hat to complete the look.)


Here are three more of my favorite things. These are my spots. I like to lay on the changing table and try and touch my spots. I can lay here for ten minutes. Mommy likes my spots because they help with my cognitive learning. (This is part of an ad that came with some free samples of Enfamil that the hospital makes you sign up for. So I keep getting formula that I don't need..but we do appreciate the high contrast spots because she gets so excited when we pull them out while changing her.)






My Grandma Jo got me this glow worm and I love him. He comes and plays songs for me and I just love to look at his glowing face. He's my buddy.





My bouncy chair has these animals that attach to it and I sometimes like to try and touch them. Although they aren't as bright and high contrast as my spots or my glow worm, they are still nice to try and grab...I keep trying to grab my toes, but I just can't reach them yet. So, maybe my animals will help me get there eventually.

I really look like mommy when she was a baby in this picture...





Lately I've been waking up in the morning and smiling at mommy for a long time. I love having my feet tickled and played with. This week I also successfully went in the car seat without crying! I even went out with mommy for a long time without becoming upset! Target has so many things to look at so I forgot I was in the car seat!!
